Philippine Air Force (PAF) men used a helicopter to rescue a mountaineer who fell into a 200-foot ravine while hiking with 100 fellow mountaineers to Mount Sicapu, Solsona town, last Thursday.

Major Randy Atis, the pilot in command of the PAF rescuers, said the victim, Nelson Roquero, 26, of Rosario, Cavite, was safely rescued and rushed to a hospital in Laoag City for treatment of body injuries.

Solsona town Mayor Jonathan de Lara said Roquero was one of the 108 hikers who went to Mount Sicapu last Wednesday afternoon.

The victim is now in stable condition at Governor Roque Ablan Memorial Hospital in Laoag City.
